Login with your DropBox email and password, one time authentication. An oauth access token is used on later sessions. You can remove auth when you like and re-login with same or another DropBox account.

Full DropBox access. Read/write to everything in your dropbox account.

Threaded networking (non-bloking) so you'll have a smooth user experience while network I/O is happening. Threaded file writing for same reason.

Monitoring and requesting network connections from device.

App settings for various things.

Transfer Manager for monitoring active transfers and transfer history.

Installing

You'll need to have extras-devel enabled in your device repos. App Manager Just search 'dropn900' category is 'network', its the only thing you need to install. This package depends on many other that are listed below but they come automatically with this main package. Terminal sudo gainroot; apt-get update; apt-get install dropn900;

Fixed line edits being black with black text, now white bg with black text as normal.

Made right side buttons a bit smaller with a bit smaller text, more space for horizontally long treeview item names.

Some style changes to make things looks normal again after PR 1.3

NOTE: Settings Sync Path selection button paint bug is known. Most likely wont show anything so you have trust what you insert in the popup when you press it. I guess QMaemo5ValueButton got twisted in PR 1.3, custom style sheets does not seem to do anything for this subclass of QPushButton.

-> Delete Local Files: will remove all files that are marked as NEW FILE in known dropbox paths. If uploads still available after deletion, updates UI and reconfirms what to do. This will happen only if you have added new folders and files that are not present in the server, these you still have to delete manually if you dont want to sync them. Or just click ignore to not act on them.

Transfers widgets cleaned up. Sync wont create widget per sync dl/ul, but a reporting widget that will track the progress of the sync. Showing stats: time spent on upload and download, how many files uploaded/downloaded and how many left and total size of uploads/downloads. Hopefully this will bring speed to the transfers view as there are alot less items in it now.

Added small 'Sync Now' button to main views lower right corner. This same space will also show when a sync is in progress and the button goes away for that time.

Made main tree view items a little bigger with bigger font so its easier to use without stylus.

Internals: Much cleaner code all around for the sync ui part.

dropn900-0.1.5-3 - 13.09.2010

Synchronization now goes both ways as follows

--- Upload sync updates existing files that have newer timestamp and is different size compared to server file.

--- Upload sync sends new files in existing dropbox paths

--- Upload sync sends new local folders and files that do not exist in corresponding dropbox paths

--- Upload sync will skip local paths that have non-ascii chars: my code would support this but dropbox python client does not however. It fails to open file objects that non-ascii chars.

--- Upload sync will skip temp files that end with ~

Sync reporting/confirmation dialog got a facelift

Transfers manager updated to support sync uploads

Removed python2.5-qt4-network and python2.5-qt4-webkit dependencies

Created a new about dialog with more information on the app and paypal donate link

dropn900-0.1.4-1 - 05.08.2010

Bug fix: Certain themes had column width problems, so you could not see the item names without manual resize.

Bug fix: Upload goes through, but fails on internal callback after thread finishes. This resulted in not fetching the new metadata automatically for parent folder after upload.

App now uses unicode internally and for networking encodes to utf-8.

--- Scandic letter now work and have been tested, any chars in utf-8 should work also of course.

--- Tested files/paths with scandic chars: rename, new folder, download, remove, but on upload with scandics in file name dropbox refuses with "forbidden" response. This seems to be the only limitation.

--- Errors on upload should show in transfers widget, and the transfer is set to failed state.

--- Login email/password can now have non-ascii chars also.

dropn900-0.1.3-1 - 02.08.2010

Bug fix: QTimers were not polling active threads due to gmainloopcontext.iteration() was blocking it.

Bug fix: Download code was saying too early that file was ready, even 30mb files seemed to come in ~few seconds. This lead multiple downloads to be going at the same time, now only one at a time as intended from the beginning.

New Feature: Recursive sync. Searches all subfolders for out of date or missing files and syncs them also

Confirmation dialog of sync download. Lists total file count and size and for every folder separately.

More checking on sync start, wont start if existing active transfers or data writing to disk

UI updates to transfer widget to show total sync stats

When you sync for example /Photos, it now goes to <default_dl_dir>/Photos

dropn900-0.1.2-2 - 30.07.2010

Fixed fatal bug: app crashed and burned on start up for users that did not have /home/user/.dropn900 config dir.

dropn900-0.1.2-1 - 30.07.2010

User interface

New: Tranfers widget that shows download/uplaod/sync progress and history

New: Settings UI where all DropN900 settings can be tweaked by the user. Stored to a config.

Qt style sheet and graphic updates

Utilizing more maemo banners and notes

Authentication UI shows more error information and requests connection when device has no networking

You'll have to be more specific in order for me to help you. As said in the tips see console and if no UI is coming up I suspect PyQt4 is not present. Try going to /opt/dropn900 and start with ./dropn900.py and see what errors python prints. The package should have PyQt as dependency correctly, at least for me it got it.

--------------------

Edit. Aha I am missing PyQt4.QtNetwork/QtWebkit that I previously to use in my in app web browser. Basically dead code before the public links functionality.

Well there is a easy fix for this before i can update the package. So this is needed if you dont have the Full PyQt4 installed.

simply awsome.
uploading and downloading works well, and cpu stays very low.
interface is really lush.
login was fine.
only thing i can find so far is when uploading a file, the upload gets cancelled when you double click on a file in ur online dropbox, single click on a file doesnt seem to cancel it.
also lovin the previews for photos.
really quick and easy app, great work mate

Thank you thank you thank you thank you!
A dropbox client was one of my main missing features of the N900, this looks like a very good start. Is there any daemon that syncs folders automatically as well, or is it manual download/upload only (which is already a very good start btw!)?

wait hold on, just tested over 3g, wifi worked fine but over 3g, it connects so i can see my online dropbox, but when i go to download a file it i get the progress indicator for a while then it says error, are you connected to the internet.

Small bug:
On first login when you enter the mail address it starts with a big letter (W instead of w), I see this in many apps but it's still not the right way I think, it doesn't matter for mail addresses anyway but it looks strange with a big first letter.

eothred: Currently the API from DropBoxes side is limited to single dl/ul. I could abuse the API and do some hacks but I believe they will ban you very quickly. Synching the whole content of dropbox to your mobile does not make much sense anyways when people have 2-100GB plans on dropbox. We could maybe later see the sandbox "DropN900" folder synched with some sensible max file size limit or something.

dscobsct: Yes the networking checks are still a bit of an issues. I dont have adequate checks in place and just pushed this kind of banner when the dropbox lib throws me httplib exceptions. I will work on this in the future. Mine work nicely with 3G tought. Also for the double click while uploading, I will have to check it out later. Might be good to hold on when you are uploading with this version

weißelstone: Yes this is very stupid thing, but fortunately only cosmetic I think I can later push a input mask or a validator object into the line edits to make everything small.

Thanks for the fast feedback. Hopefully we can make this better togerther. I pushed a new dropn900 0.1.0-6 version to the maemo builder. This should fix the dependency issues once it gets trough the build process, seems there are lot more queue now than in the night time
